Show Notes
Valentine’s season is here, and if you’re single, you might be wondering: Am I actually ready for a relationship? In this episode, we’re bringing in the whole Moral Revolution team to dive deep into this question! We’ll unpack the non-negotiables you need before pursuing a relationship, the biggest signs that you might not be ready yet, and how healing, self-awareness, and God’s timing all play a role in healthy dating. Plus, we’re tackling listener-submitted questions like: Can I date while healing from sexual trauma?
What’s a normal level of thinking about my ex before I go on more dates? Why do I feel so much anxiety about dating, and what can I do about it? Whether you’re single and unsure, healing from past relationships, or just want to date with wisdom, this conversation is for you!

You both want to get married. But have you talked about what life together will actually look like?
What do you do when your dating pool feels tiny and everyone knows everyone?
Everyone gives marriage advice. Very few people tell you what they wish they would’ve known before they got married. What surprised them? What got harder than they expected? What got better? What do decades of marriage teach you that dating never could?
Everyone says, “Date God’s way.” Almost nobody tells you what that actually looks like.
Pursuit isn’t a personality trait, it’s a skill. And so is being pursued.
